The
Channel tunnel has been targeted by a group of Islamic militant
terrorists aiming to cause maximum carnage during the holiday season,
according to French and American secret services.

The plan,
which the French DGSE foreign intelligence service became aware of
earlier this year, is revealed in a secret report to the French
government on threat levels. The report, dated December 19, indicates
that the tip-off came from the American CIA.

Remember this.

British
and French intelligence agencies have run a series of checks of the
security system protecting the 31-mile tunnel but the threat level, the
DGSE warns, remains high. British security services remain on high
alert throughout the holiday period.

According to the French sources, the plan was put together in Pakistan and is being directed from there.

Remember this, too.

The
plotters are believed to be Western Europeans, possibly Britons of
Pakistani descent. The DGSE say that levels of 'chatter', the constant
communication that takes place between militants, has not been so high
since 2001. Last week Sir Ian Blair, the head of the Metropolitan
Police, described 'the threat of another terrorist attempt' as 'ever
present' adding that 'Christmas is a period when that might happen'.

Of
course it is. The threat of another terrorist attempt is always and we must always and everywhere remember this.

It is a far graver threat in terms of civilians than either the Cold War or the Second World War,' he said.

Right. It's a far graver threat than the Second World War.

It's an enormous horrible exceedingly vile terrible awful threat, this
threat to the Channel tunnel; far graver than a worldwide conflict
which took the lives of 80 million
people, left whole cities in ruins, created hundreds of millions of
refugees, and so on, and on and on ... this is far graver than that?
Sure it is, sure it is.

Ian Blair has the same disease as all the rest of them. They don't think we can tell when they're exaggerating.

'It's a much graver threat than that posed by Irish Republican terrorism.'

By the way, Ian, can you recall a single IRA blast that was not directly related to British "security" forces?

Right! I didn't think so. False-flag terror ops and bogus terror alerts are as old as the hills.

Carry on, sir.

American security sources told The Observer that the threat was 'sky high'.
